"We spoke about the possibility to sign Salah to Paris Saint-Germain when he was playing at Rome," Emery revealed.

"We had some doubts - and then he signed for Liverpool and these doubts he has broken at Liverpool. Now if you are speaking about the top five players in Europe, one is Salah," he said.

And when Emery was asked on what made him shy away from signing the Egyptian he said: "Can he take the performance into one big team?"
